Not Round ligament pain.

So I have had a lot of pain in my left side where my leg connects to my vagina, even my vagina hurts. I've called the doctor twice who has said it's probably round ligament pain. But it's constant, not sharp from changing positions or standing to sitting vice versa, it doesn't just last a few minutes, ive been in constant pain for a couple weeks and the last 3 days it's been worse, I can't even walk without wanting to cry.

This is my 4th baby. I have never felt this before, and i am at a loss. I've tried heat packs for 5 minutes, warm baths, ice packs everything I've been told for round ligament pain, but it doesn't help.

Anyone experiences this? Any suggestions? I am only 22 weeks and I have a feeling its only going to get worse.

Sounds like nerve pain to me. I’d seek a chiropractor who specializes in prenatal or even a massage therapist that’s specializes in massage as well. Massage will do wonders for nerve pain during pregnancy. It could just be muscle and tendons in your groin area that need to be softened since it’s common for your pubic/hip area to move around or get displaced.

I’m experiencing the exact same thing at 23 weeks!! It’s painful to walk and extremely painful to stand up/sit down. It’s a constant aching. I’m having a boy and I know he is positioned a little low, not sure if it’s just pressure from his weight being so low. I’ve been researching and it sounds like this is common, although no one is exactly saying what it is. My next appt is Oct 5th so I’m trying to wait until then to ask my doctor. You’re not alone!
